Quebec\u2019s Immigration Minister David Heurtel said that his ministry is expected to implement new immigration regulations on August 2, 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minister Heurtel made this announcement on Twitter yesterday and it was retweeted by the Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Immigration, et de la Diversit\u00e9 et de l\u2019Inclusion (MIDI) today.<\/p>\n

The new regulations, originally outlined in March, include a new\u00a0Expression of Interest system<\/a>\u00a0which is intended to replace the first-come, first-served application process for the\u00a0Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP),<\/a>\u00a0as well as its\u00a0Mon Projet Quebec<\/em>\u00a0application portal.<\/p>\n

Minister David Heurtel\u2019s tweet July 4, 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Minister\u2019s tweet states that the new system is designed to decrease processing times and help the province of Quebec maximize the potential of the immigration system as a driver for economic growth in the province.<\/p>\n

Faster processing with the new Quebec Express Entry-style application system<\/h3>\n

The Government of Quebec runs an autonomous immigration system, and the province has significant independence in creating its own immigration programs.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the\u00a0TVA Nouvelles<\/em>\u00a0earlier in May, Minister Heurtel said that the province intends to reduce processing times for economic immigration applications to less than 12 months.<\/p>\n

Based on previously announced details from the MIDI, the\u00a0process of applying under the QSWP is expected to include the following steps (for non-cap-exempt candidates):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Submission of an Expression of Interest with intention to settle in\u00a0Qu\u00e9bec by the candidate.<\/li>\n
  2. Invitation to apply for a\u00a0Qu\u00e9bec Selection Certificate<\/a>\u00a0(Certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec,\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0CSQ) issued by the MIDI.<\/li>\n
  3. Submission of an Application for a\u00a0Qu\u00e9bec Selection Certificate<\/a>\u00a0to the MIDI.<\/li>\n
  4. Submission of the federal portion of the application (once a CSQ is obtained).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The MIDI is expected to reveal more details about the new Quebec Expression of Interest system, including ranking criteria, in the very near future.<\/p>\n

    Further details will be published on\u00a0CICNews<\/em>\u00a0as they become available. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
